Thread: Can anyone recommend a good UK based honing service

Hi, I've been lovingly restoring a 1940 dovo straight razor for the last month or so (slow process as I'm learning everything from scratch) and finally have it to what I believe is a shave ready state, having never used hones before and only having experiance with shavettes I don't have anything to compare my attempt with.

I have treated myself to a brand new dovo 6/8 straight razor that I stupidly thought would arrive shave ready from the factory but one stroke against my cheek has confirmed this is 100% not the case, I really don't fancy honing this new razor as I need to see if I'm close to a professional finish can anyone recommend a good UK based service as the closest one I can find in member services is in Germany

Many thanks in advance
Andy

I have purchased from this vendor Razor Hones and his razors come very nicely honed. The site has a link called "Sharpening Services" click on it then proceed from there. Cheers

The invisible edge, Neil Miller or Celticcrusader from here.

Would of recommended Neil Miller as well but his website says hes not honing right now.

Well if Neils not honing try Jamie (Celticcrusader ) have only heard good things. Just send him a pm
